I live for a fun and festive tequila spritz type cocktail! So make way for these delish Blackberry Margaritas!
If you had to pick one kind of cocktail that was your go-to cocktail when you're at a nice restaurant, or a dive bar, or anything in between... what would it be? For me... it's a margarita of some sort. I like them with silver tequila, no crazy sweeteners, a splash of sparkling water on top and a salted rim. It's my go-to anytime we're having a cocktail or two and these Blackberry Margaritas are my current front runner.
Muddled blackberries give this that extra punch of flavor and a lot of color! Add to that some Cointreau to smooth it out with the tequila and you're in business.

This looks so refreshing! Can't wait for berry season!
How cute are sprinkles on the rim?! This margarita sounds delish!
